Ch. 34 – The best minds I could find Having consolidated my confidence in the Omniscientific Cosmology, and in myself, I spent 1985 and 1986 writing a new draft of my book, while working as a field geophysicist in the summer and as a driving instructor the rest of the year. I really couldn’t care…

Ch. 33 – Bloody Superstition and Bold New Cosmology When I picked up my duffel bag from the carousel on the arrival level of the Vancouver International Airport in late spring, 1977, it contained about a thousand pages of hand-written notes.

Ch. 23 – How 1 bullet killed 25 lions My downhill trek was as uplifting as my uphill climb was downcasting. For one thing, there was none of the “anti-gravity” exertion. For another thing, rather than the rocks and stones in front of my face on my way up, I was facing the stunning…

Ch. 20 – Miracle on Kilimanjaro Had I stayed on rock bottom, I would have been left on rock bottom. But when my father’s letter lifted my spirit to great heights in the three minutes I took to read it, and I let it go into free fall, it crashed through the rock bottom to…
